5. Maury Wills 1962 NL MVP

Maury Wills

In 1962, Wills had 104 stolen bases. While that is an incredible feat, he still did not deserve to win the MVP that year. A mind-boggling statistic such as 104 stolen bases could have had an effect on the voters.

But in 1962, Willie Mays deserved to win the MVP. Mays led the league in home runs and WAR. He also had more RBI, walks, runs, and had a higher batting average, OPS, OBP and Slugging than Wills.

Wow, 2006 must have been a very controversial year. The winner of the 2006 A.L MVP award was Justin Morneau. Morneau had the 19th (!) highest WAR in the league, and was arguably just the 4th most valuable player on his team, behind Joe Mauer, Johan Santana, and Joe Nathan.

The No. 2 and 3 vote-getters, Derek Jeter and David Ortiz, both would have been better options than Morneau.
